Guest Phil Brennan Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 These Guys have a good set of instructions for the G1, including a nice little bootloader application, but of course it is for the G1 and not the Pulse, so it isn't a lot of good to me. Has anyone done something similar here for the T-Mobile Pulse and would like to share their expertise? Phil.

Guest Phil Brennan Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Should be the same tbh. Will test. Their bootloader doesn't want to find my phone, but the modaco ones do (SuperBoot and RA-pulse-v1.5.2 flash over perfectly). At least I got as far as making the .rgb525 file and renaming it to androidrooted01.rgb525 - at least that bit works. Oh yeah, and I will attach the graphic for you guys to see. It's rather simple but then I am no graphic artist... Phil.
Guest xangma Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Should be the same tbh. Will test. Turns out we don't have a splash partition =/
Guest Phil Brennan Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Turns out we don't have a splash partition =/ And that is where the problems come. Now where is the splash screen hidden on a T-Mobile Pulse? I bet the ROM guys would know the Answer to that and have us a work-around in short order... :) I got a feeling that my first major hacking project will be how to put new boot screens onto a Pulse. Ah well, start with the relatively simple and work my way up... Phil.

Guest klutsh Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Here's one you can have a play with :)
Guest Phil Brennan Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 I have a feeling it's in the misc.img. I have the entire source code for the December update so I will go and have a look-see and see what I can find. @ Klutsh - nice one. Once we have figured out how to make a flash package for bootsplashes we will make one with that in... Phil.
Guest Paul Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 There's a splash in the boot.img... P
Guest xangma Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 There's a splash in the boot.img... P Hehehe I should have known that :)
Guest Paul Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 There's one in bootloader that displays very briefly I believe, not 100% sure tho. P

P What is a good program to look through the contents of an img file? At the moment my Nero seems to want to play with any that I try to open. I am on windows vista right now. Phil.
Guest Paul Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Use the scripts from here as a starter... http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?titl...king_the_images P
Guest Phil Brennan Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) I am gonna have to migrate back to linux, aren't I? *sighs* ADDENDUM: 7Zip.exe can unpack IMG files, Folder2Iso.exe can pack them up again. Phil. Edited January 3, 2010 by Phil Brennan
Guest Phil Brennan Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 http://forum.androidcentral.com/android-ha...tu-windows.html - good job gbhil has a nice option for those of us who do not want to pee about with a full linux installation...
Guest klutsh Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 Think these will go better with the Pulse:
Guest Phil Brennan Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 Nice work Klutsh - it's a shame that Pulse's do not have a flash partition for splash screens. Could always get Paul to integrate them in with his next ROM updates though... Phil.
Guest Daniel Williamson Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Hi guys just wondering if you can change the boot/splash screen ? and any instructions. Im new to this so please bare with me :) Thanks dan
Guest U_Droid Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) My tools for editing the Splash This is a beta version for Linux but it was helpful to recover and create my ANDROID splash screen. Support format conversion between PNG, RAW, 565 and RLE. Happy to share and hope you'll enjoy it too.ADN_Splash_Converter_0.2.zip Edited September 23, 2011 by U_Droid
